Advantages Of Emerging Drug Oral Dissolving Film

Oral dissolving film (OTF) is a drug containing polymer film used to provide treatment locally or systematically in the oral cavity or through gastrointestinal absorption. OTF is an attractive drug delivery system with advantages such as flexible dosage and ease of use. OTF can quickly release drugs and promote their direct entry into the systemic circulation system through oral mucosa and/or sublingual absorption, avoiding drug exposure to the gastrointestinal environment and releasing a larger proportion of API.
OTF administration does not require water, chewing, or swallowing, and saliva is sufficient to disperse or spread the drug. OTF can also be designed to have pleasant colors and flavors, making the formulation more attractive to young children. Patients with swallowing difficulties benefit more from OTF medication.
The OTF drug delivery system is successful, and there may be more drugs suitable for oral administration in the future.
